Abstract: This dissertation is an inquiry focused on the development of a curriculum framework, for Outdoor/Environmental Education. The method of inquiry is derived from a phenomenological and hermeneutic orientation with a particular emphasis on the concept of currere as a process of self-reflection and free-associative writing. In Part I the differing concepts of the person/earth relationship which influenced the development of Outdoor/ Environmental Education are explored through a review of the works of various nature writers who influenced the movement toward the outdoor experience as a part of the school curriculum. A model for examining the nature of the person/ earth relationship through the concepts of currere and the hermeneutic spiral are introduced as a prelude to the experiential model which is presented in Part II.
